New to the box

Launch­ing in Au­gust and Septem­ber re­spec­tively, Boomerang and Dreamworks are now avail­able on Hyp­pTV to the de­light of Malaysian kids (and par­ents, fess up). Here are our favourite new car­toons on the box

Dreamworks (Hyp­pTV Ch 550) The suave and coura­geous Puss in Boots charmed in ‘Shrek’ and now he’s off ex­pe­ri­enc­ing his own ad­ven­tures. Com­mit­ted to pro­tect­ing the town of San Lorenzo, Puss in Boots has ac­quired a cast of new friends: the sweet and wise Dul­cinea, the nutty al­chemist/ macramé owl shop owner Artephius and the jaded Sphinx. With heart­warm­ing sto­ry­lines, this is a great show for younger kids and diehard fans of Puss.

Scooby-Do! Mystery In­cor­po­rated

Ev­ery day, 5.30pm Boomerang (Hyp­pTV Ch 555) This up­date of a clas­sic that par­ents will well re­mem­ber has Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Fred and Daphne look­ing quite dif­fer­ent, but un­derneath the makeover they’re still the same ‘med­dling kids’ of old. The gang un­rav­els a mystery in each episode, but each story is part of a larger co­nun­drum fac­ing their home­town, Crys­tal Cove.

Mr Bean

Week­days, 6pm Boomerang (Hyp­pTV Ch 555) That love­able weirdo is back in all new episodes. Join him as he be­comes a DIY Su­per Spy, an opera star, a taxi driver and even a star on the in­ter­net! With quirky an­i­ma­tion and an even quirkier main char­ac­ter, the ‘Mr Bean’ an­i­mated se­ries ap­peals to all ages, and the hu­mour seems to cut ef­fort­lessly across cul­tures.
